Yeah, and none of that is new in any kind of sense, but suddenly now it's an issue with this specific word.

I just feel it's weird how many people suddenly have an issue with the word "weird" now that someone used it against a Republican once. Oh, the humanity, for such a word to be (very accurately) applied, oh, the horror.

I would have reservations about skill transferrability from field ant amputations to modern healthcare.

Hm. That's weird.

Not a slur. Not even close.

What it is is an omnipresent, versatile, variable, nuanced word, that someone apparently started using "politically" like fifteen fucking minutes ago - I don't see that as a compelling reason to hustle to change my lexicon, and wouldn't advise anyone else to do it either. It is literally playing into their dogshit tactics: "validating their view" is, respectfully, not a good argument if we're talking about the American right which I'm going out on a limb and assuming we are. This is because their "view" (like many of their imitators) is "I will bitch about everything I can possibly pretend to take offense at, or else make something up". Therefore, allowing them to dictate your vocabulary (extremely and intentionally hypocritically, between the incessant bitching about "political correctness") seems like a losing or at least pointlessly annoying proposition. You are playing chess with a pigeon, it will shit on the board and strut around like it's won.

If they didn't want to be called "weird":

  1. Maybe they shouldn't have been weird

  2. Maybe they shouldn't be whinging about it from the #1 spot on the podium of irrelevant namecalling and shit-flinging kindergarten/zoo tactics.

  3. Tough shit lol

  4. GOTO 3

As one could've suspected from the idiot headline, "apparently not much"

Who'd'a thunk a bunch of angry (self-styled-)commie trolls who got punted off Reddit and decided to make their own, with Marxist blackjack and Marxister hookers, would eventually deteriorate into this shit.

Yeah, I'm sure these toy guns are the real reasons shooting sprees are routine in the US
